Grammar alert: of/off, to/too

I suppose if it gives somebody a warm glow inside to correct somebody’s grammar and allow them to feel superior then let them crack on with it.
Text speak deserves all the ridicule it gets though, fucking hate seeing anybody over 12 use it.

As a teacher, I am part of a few teacher groups on facebook etc and the amount of grammar mistakes on them is frightening.

That's where the grammar issue is 100% a problem and it's alarming to hear that about teachers. Why do reckon it's the case then that some teachers aren't up to scratch? Are some not trained properly on courses or in their degrees? Or is it something else completely?

Call me a pedantic old fart, but I am sometimes shocked by the inability of some people on this forum to distinguish between "to" and "too", or between "of" and "off".

So there.
